It also describes the way the organisation is structured and how it works, and fairly and objectively looks at a number of main achievements and some of the criticisms that are levelled at it.

Its two statutory bodies are the Committee of Ministers, comprising the foreign ministers of each member state, and the Parliamentary Assembly, composed of members of the national parliaments of each member state. The Commissioner for Human Rights is an independent institution within the Council of Europe, mandated to promote awareness of and respect for human rights in the member states. The Secretary General heads the secretariat of the organisation.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia. Further from the Atlantic, seasonal differences increase, but the mildness of the climate remains.

Council

A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants.

A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman.

In politics

Notable examples of types of councils encountered in politics include:

Council of Europe

The Council of Europe (CE) is an international organisation promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation. It was founded in 1949, has 47 member states with 820 million citizens, and is an entirely separate body from the European Union. It is not controlled by, and should not be confused with, the European Union. Unlike the European Union, the Council of Europe cannot make binding laws.

Council of Europe Debate Genital Cutting Of Boys Jan '14

In October 2013PACE, the foremost human rights body in Europe, adopted a resolution on the bodily integrity of children that rightfully discussed the genital cutting ("circumcision") of young boys a violation of their human rights. After heavy criticism -- including accusations of racism and Anti-Semitism -- and political pressure from religious groups seeking to promote the genital cutting of boys, PACE held this historic debate on January 28, 2014. The full program from the event is copied below:

Death Penalty Debate

During a televised panel discussion on the death penalty on 9 October, Slovenian law professor Dragan Petrovec said victims should play no role in the sentencing of offenders. ''The victim is never objective,'' he said. ''Victims cant be judges.'' The discussion, organised by the Council of Europe to mark the European day against the death penalty, also featured Swedens Human RightsAmbassador Jan Axel Nordlander. The Council of Europes Jeroen Schokkenbroek said the organisation was critical of the United States and Japan over their use of the death penalty . He added that ''dialogue was continuing'' with both countries towards ending the practice.

The European dream of peace, prosperity and tolerance has been shaken up in recent years by the financial crisis, regional conflicts and populism. And while dialogue remains one of Europe’s core values, few groups seem to be interested in it, both domestically and abroad. How can we ensure that peaceful means of conflict resolution prevail in an environment increasingly taken to violence? And how much value is there in dialogue if your opponents are unwilling to talk? Oksana is joined by Walter Schwimmer, former secretary-general of the Council of Europe and co-chairman of the WorldPublic Forum - Dialogue of Civilizations, to resolve these issues.

The Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation invites you to watch a seminar on corruption in the Council of Europe. Gerald Knaus, Chairman of the European Stability Initiative, and Tobias Billström, Deputy Chairman of the SwedishDelegation to the Council of Europe, will present the current state of affairs and the struggle for a solid human rights regime in Europe.
The End of CaviarDiplomacy?
For over a decade, authoritarian governments have tried to capture Europe’s oldest human rights institution, the Council of Europe, through bribes and KGB-tactics. The aim has been to neutralize the international human rights movement’s strategy of “naming and shaming” those who falsify elections and violate basic human rights.
This trend reached its peak when the President of the Council’s Parliamentary Assembly earlier this year flew into Damascus on a Russian jet, as part of a delegation led by a member of Russia’s far-right party. Their agenda included a meeting with president Bashar al-Assad which took place two weeks before a sarin gas attack in Syria’s Idlib provice.
A coalition of politicians, prosecutors, journalists and civil society actors are now fighting back and an unprecedent independent investigation has been launched to look into the corruption.

Mass Surveillance: Snowden testifying speech to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg

Spoken in Greek - The Council of Europe hears the hopes, intentions for reconciliation between the two Cyprus communities on Cyprus, and some tangible proposals from newly elected President of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias... during this Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe meeting on 30th September 2008.
The text of the President's address, is available in English at:
http://www.coe.int/t/dc/files/pa_session/sept_2008/20080930_disc_christofias_en.asp
President Christofias then replies to questions in English.
The Assembly was due to discuss a report and pass a resolution on Cyprus on the following day, which happens to be 1st October, the anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Cyprus.
Extracts of the debate on 1st October will be uploaded to this profile in due course ... because the points raised are of crucial significance to an understanding of the 'inverse' logic exercised by Turkey by which it constantly refers to Mr Christofias as 'the leader of the Greek CypriotCommunity'. Turkey also continues to refuse to recognise the existence of the Republic of Cyprus which it tried to destroy with its invasion in 1974.
The debate in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly is therefore of crucial significance to the Republic of Cyprus, in clarifying the international community's understanding of where Turkey stands ... in continuing and flagrant violation of ECHR rulings, UN Resolutions, and shows the tactics it uses in promoting division while ostensibly arguing that it supports a solution of the long-standing Cyprus problem
Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 following a coup by the Greek militaryJunta, and it continues to have a massive army and many settlers on the island. It also continues to occupy nearly half the island in violation of innumerable UN resolutions.
